Paddling Wednesday, September 8, 2004
Paddling Wednesday, September 8, 2004, Lower White Oak above 24 bridge.
We will meet and put-in and take out at Cedar Point, Croatan National Forest ramp off Route 58. Meet at 9:00, take out at 3:00.We will paddle south and along the shore to downtown Swansboro. We will eat in the Fish Trap Restaurant on the porch on the waterfront or you can bring your lunch and eat in Swansboro Bi-Centennial Park.
After lunch we will paddle up the west shore and then cirlce Jones Islandand go over to our Sandy Beach on the Croatan Shore and back to our take-out. If time permits we will also do Dubling Bay.If heavy wind conditons exist we will do Grants Creek or Starkeys Creekupstream in the woods. Should know by Tuesday night about wind.
Missy Tenhet says they call the beautiful flower they saw on Upper BroadCreek as Joe Pye Weed. Jamie Haynes gave it a more formal name of Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias Incarnata) and she believes the butterflies are Palmedes Swallowtails.We thank Paul /ferguson for the exquisite picture which made it possible for all of us to enjoy those lovely flowers and those beautiful butterflies feeding on them.
From our missing paddlers who we do miss very much and love to hear from:
Hey Elmer, How's it going? I check out your website every now and then and reminisce about the good times back on the White Oak and all. Sure do missgoing out with you guys.
